Saving a graph

[ghd]

Hello,

I used to have no problem saving graphs before (can't remember the exact way but using print to file)
upgrading to RKWARD 0.5.0b (KDE 4.0.3). but now i have yet to figure how. Say i do:

> contour(x,y,z)

this shows in Graphics Device 2... how do i it in RKWARD's ouput window?

Alternatively,

> plot(rnorm(10),rnorm(10))
+ dev.copy2eps(file="test.eps")
X11cairo
       2
The resulting file home/test seems to have the required properties:
Type:    EPS image
Size:    3.5KB
MIME:   image/x-eps

but if I open it with Document Viewer it shows Loading... There's also a little Watch in the bottom right of the file icon. This usually happens in the process of saving or downloading a file.

thanks!

Hi
What I'm going to suggest is more of a hack but I think it points the way to a long term solution.
In rkward graphs are made through a call to the function

rk.graph.on()

This function creates graph images in the ~/.rkward folder.
It automatically names graph.01.png, graph.02.png etc. (or something very similar)

When I make graphs now I always write code like this

rk.graph.on()
plot(x,y....)
rk.grahp.off()

The image is not actually created until rk.graph.off() is run.

I made a my own version of this command to control the size and name of the image file I didn't go into the automatic the enumeration so it always appends a number to the filename but it could probably be changed with some more code digging.

a3q_rk.graph.on <- function (width = 480, height = 480,prefix="graph", ...)
{
    filename <- rk.get.tempfile.name(prefix = prefix, extension = ".png")
    png(filename = file.path(filename), width = width, height = height,
        ...)
    cat(paste("<img src=\&quot;", filename, "\&quot; width=\&quot;", width,
        "\&quot; height=\&quot;", height, "\&quot;><br>", sep = ""), file = rk.get.output.html.file(),
        append = TRUE)
}

It is called like this
a3q_rk.graph.on(width,height,graph_name)
plot(x,y....)
rk.grahp.off()
